Talk about desperate -- Palin to campaign in NEBRASKA!!!

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Nebraska? How bad could things be for McSame to send Palin to Nebraska?

Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is planning a Omaha stop Sunday evening.

1. It's about as far away as she could get in 3 hours.

Tomorrow she's campaigning in Calgary.

2. I'm still trying to figure out them being in CA

Do they not understand what a battleground state is and how to win one?

Its ok to go back to states that you have in the bag to keep them excited, but I don't think you're doing any favor in California.

3. ya shooo-er, that'll be sooper!

She really couldn't campaign outside of the midwest. I think the East Coast would try to stone her at this point.

I expect that once she gets some practice in a safe state they might let her try Minnesota. Ya know, for a few familiar you betchas.

4. Next it'll be Idaho! (and I DO mean HO!)

No offense to any Idahoans!

5. "I can see your indictment from my house"

6. I hear McSame needs more help in Utah too nt

7. Omaha is actually in play

Nebraska casts EVs by Congressional District.

8. Well.. it might actually make some sense for her to campaign there:

9. Electoral votes distributed by House District

In Maine and Nebraska, electoral votes are distributed by House District, vs. winner take all. Obama has a chance at one vote in Nebraska. McCain thinks he has a chance at one vote in Maine.

The Repubs tried to change California's electoral votes from winner take all. That idea didn't last long in the Dem-controlled legislature. California gives a Dem about 1/5 of all the electoral votes they need.

10. The hunt for friendly audiences continues. n/t

11. Obama's all up in their head

The Obama campaign threw down the gauntlet on Omaha two days ago, and McCain is already reacting. That's great. They are in full defense mode, as Obama expands the territory under threat. The line will break, ladies and gentlemen. And the blue will rush through.

15. Well Said!

I agree 100%. These clowns are playing complete defense and have no idea where to go or what to do next. Also, there are severely limited areas where she can go.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

17. Agreed!

12. lol...It's like being exiled

They don't want Idiot Box anywhere relevant.

13. Mrs. Hagel has apparently had some impact.

[Jackpine Radical]

14. The Schmidthead was trying to find a state that Palin

couldn't possibly fuck up for them, and the choice came down to Nebraska or Wyoming.

[Bad Thoughts]

16. Money!!!

They need money. They need to get red state republicans excited enough to contribute to McCain, whom they loath. Even her trip to Corona, California is probably aimed at fundraising.

[LiberalAndProud]

18. Those votes are more than symbolic.

It would represent the beginning of a sea change in Nebraska that is long past due.
